Hi chickenmama,
Who knew chickens could be so addictive!? I am learning so much, but the learning curve is a steep one. My parents live with me and my mom grew up on a farm during the depression. We positioned the run so they could look out their window and be entertained by the antics of the ladies.

It is not all selfless. I enjoy them too. ;-) my 89 year old dad has a cell phone and loves to text-a dangerous thing.

He often texts me EARLY morning to give me the status of the girls.

That's great. Just gotta love 'em.

Welcome! I am new also to chickens and have found this site to be an incredible source of information. I have found that even with differing opinions, people seem to still be respectful and kind. Have fun. Time flies when exploring BYC.

I've posted this in a few other forums:

Little concerned here; I've got 3 Plymouth Barred Rocks and 1 Black Austraplorp which are all 9 months old. Two months ago I integrated 3 new pullets (14 weeks) . They get along great, no problems up until a week ago. I noticed that my 3 Barred Rocks no longer get on the roosting bar unless I manually put them there. They will stay there until morning. Otherwise they just stay on the floor next to the door opening. Should I be concerned or just let it go?
